| | Balti is a language spoken in Baltistan, in what is now part of the Northern Areas of Pakistan. | | | Balti is also the name of the Tibetan Balti script, no longer in use, which was replaced by the Persian script in the 16th Century, due to Arabic influence. | | | Recently a number of Balti scholars have been trying to repromote the use of the Balti script (including the Tibetan form) and as well as preserving their semi-Tibetan Balti culture, in order to preserve their racial identity. |
